  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, Updated 2010
    RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN HEALTH CARE, UPDATED 2010 American College of Physicians A Position Paper 2010 Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care A Summary of a Position Paper Approved by the ACP Board of Regents, April 2010 What Are the Sources of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care? The Institute of Medicine defines disparities as “racial or ethnic differences in the quality of health care that are not due to access-related factors or clinical needs, preferences, and appropriateness of intervention.” Racial and ethnic minorities tend to receive poorer quality care compared with nonminorities, even when access-related factors, such as insurance status and income, are controlled. The sources of racial and ethnic health care disparities include differences in geography, lack of access to adequate health coverage, communication difficulties between patient and provider, cultural barriers, provider stereotyping, and lack of access to providers. In addition, disparities in the health care system contribute to the overall disparities in health status that affect racial and ethnic minorities. Why is it Important to Correct These Disparities? The problem of racial and ethnic health care disparities is highlighted in various statistics: • Minorities have less access to health care than whites. The level of uninsurance for Hispanics is 34% compared with 13% among whites. • Native Americans and Native Alaskans more often lack prenatal care in the first trimester. • Nationally, minority women are more likely to avoid a doctor’s visit due to cost. • Racial and ethnic minority Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with dementia are 30% less likely than whites to use antidementia medications.

  • Handout 6A: Food and Drink
    G5 M1 Handout 6A • WIT & WISDOM™ Name: Date: Handout 6A: Food and Drink Directions: Read the following text. Then, reread the text and annotate three to five things you notice and three to five things you wonder about. From the Nez Perce National Historic Trail website Food and Drink Fish were an important food for Indian families. They were caught in many different ways. Some tribes made hand-knotted nets, both large and small. Some of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest still fish with large dipnets, from a platform built up above the edge of the riverbank. Others use a seine net (pronounced “sayn”) to catch many fish at once. Some tribes made a fish trap from sticks. Others built dams with rocks, dirt, and fallen trees; they would then scoop the fish from the water with baskets. The Nez Perce and other tribes picked and ate many kinds of wild berries—strawberries, blueberries, wild grapes, huckleberries, serviceberries, currants, cranberries, and many more. Researchers have found there were 36 different kinds of fruit that Indians dried to eat in the winter. They knew what the plants looked like, where they grew, and when they got ripe every year. Berries were carried home in baskets and eaten fresh, but they were also dried and saved for winter. Huckleberries and other berries—such as serviceberries and currants—were often used by the Nez Perce to make a staple food called pemmican. Meat is sliced very thin, then dried, and then pounded or ground with stones to a dry powder. Chopped dried berries are added to the powdered meat, and then melted fat (such as deer fat or buffalo fat) is mixed in.

  • Human Service Workers Any People Experience Hardship and Need Help
    Helping those in need: Human service workers any people experience hardship and need help. This help is provided by M a network of agencies and organi- zations, both public and private. Staffed by human service workers, this network, and the kinds of help it offers, is as varied as the clients it serves. “Human services tend to be as broad as the needs and problems of the cli- ent base,” says Robert Olding, president of the National Organization for Human Services in Woodstock, Georgia. Human service workers help clients become more self-sufficient. They may do this by helping them learn new skills or by recom- mending resources that allow them to care for themselves or work to overcome setbacks. These workers also help clients who are unable to care for themselves, such as children and the elderly, by coordinating the provision of their basic needs. The first section of this article explains the duties of human service workers and the types of assistance they provide. The next action.

  • Disparities in Health and Health Care: Five Key Questions and Answers
    March 2020 | Issue Brief Disparities in Health and Health Care: Five Key Questions and Answers Samantha Artiga, Kendal Orgera, and Olivia Pham Executive Summary 1. What are health and health care disparities? Health and health care disparities refer to differences in health and health care between groups that are closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage. Disparities occur across many dimensions, including race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, location, gender, disability status, and sexual orientation. 2. Why do health and health care disparities matter? Disparities in health and health care not only affect the groups facing disparities, but also limit overall gains in quality of care and health for the broader population and result in unnecessary costs. Addressing health disparities is increasingly important as the population becomes more diverse. It is projected that people of color will account for over half (52%) of the population in 2050. 3. What is the current status of disparities? Although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) lead to large coverage gains, some groups remain at higher risk of being uninsured, lacking access to care, and experiencing worse health outcomes. For example, as of 2018, Hispanics are two and a half times more likely to be uninsured than Whites (19.0% vs. 7.5%) and individuals with incomes below poverty are four times as likely to lack coverage as those with incomes at 400% of the federal poverty level or above (17.3% vs. 4.3%). 4. What are key initiatives to address disparities? The ACA’s coverage expansions and funding for community health centers increased access to coverage and care for many groups facing disparities, and other provisions explicitly focused on reducing disparities.

  • The Menu: Food and Beverage
    C H A P T E R • • • • 5 The menu: Food and beverage Introduction The menu is the primary selling tool of any estab- lishment that offers food and beverage for sale. For the customer it identifi es the items that are available, shows prices and any other charges and together with other external features may characterize the style of food service offered. From the establishments per- spective the menu should meet the objectives of the marketing policy, the catering policy and the fi nancial policy. The marketing policy should guide the catering policy so that the products on offer and the style of operation best meet the needs of the target market. The catering policy is concerned with the size and style of menu to be offered together with an appropriate style of service and this will impact on space requirements, level and type of equipment purchased, and the level of skill and number of staff required. The fi nancial policy aims to achieve revenue and profi tability to budget through pricing, cost control and volume. Food and Beverage Management Chapter objectives After working through this chapter you should be able to: ● Understand the differences between a Table d ’ hôte and à la Carte menu. ● Understand the basics of menu planning and menu design. ● Have a knowledge of menu pricing models and applications. ● Understand different types of beverage menus. ● Understand the need for accuracy and honesty in menu descriptions. ● Have a basic understanding of licensing and merchandising.

  • Security, Disease, Commerce: Ideologies of Postcolonial Global Health Nicholas B
    Special Issue: Postcolonial Technoscience ABSTRACT Public health in the United States and Western Europe has long been allied with national security and international commerce. During the 1990s, American virologists and public health experts capitalized on this historical association, arguing that ‘emerging diseases’ presented a threat to American political and economic interests. This paper investigates these arguments, which I call the ‘emerging diseases worldview’, and compares it to colonial-era ideologies of medicine and public health. Three points of comparison are emphasized: the mapping of space and relative importance of territoriality; the increasing emphasis on information and commodity exchange networks; and the transition from metaphors of conversion and a ‘civilizing mission’, to integration and international development. Although colonial and postcolonial ideologies of global health remain deeply intertwined, significant differences are becoming apparent. Keywords emerging diseases, exchange, information, networks, pharmaceuticals, public health Security, Disease, Commerce: Ideologies of Postcolonial Global Health Nicholas B. King In April 2000, the Clinton administration, citing domestic political pres- sure and awareness of an emergent international health threat, formally designated HIV/AIDS a threat to American national security. Earlier that year, a National Intelligence Council (NIC) estimate projected that the disease would reduce human life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa by as much as 30 years, and kill as much

    NICK MACCHIONE, FACHE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY WILMA J. WOOTEN, M.D. AGENCY DIRECTOR PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES 3851 ROSECRANS STREET, MAIL STOP P-578 SAN DIEGO, CA 92110-3134 (619) 531-5800 • FAX (619) 542-4186 ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER (Quarantine of Persons Exposed to COVID-19) The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a substantial threat to the public’s health. San Diego County is currently subject to a declared local health emergency and a proclaimed local emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergency. Everyone is at risk for becoming ill with COVID-19, but some people are more vulnerable to serious illness due to age or underlying health conditions. In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, and prevent the healthcare system in San Diego County from being overwhelmed, it is necessary for the Health Officer of the County of San Diego (Health Officer) to require the quarantine of persons exposed to COVID-19. Household contacts, intimate partners, caregivers, and any other person who have been in close contact with a person either diagnosed with COVID-19, or likely to have COVID-19 (COVID-19 Patient), must quarantine themselves. A “close contact” is a contact with a COVID-19 Patient that occurs anywhere between 48 hours before the COVID-19 Patient’s symptoms began (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection), and until the COVID-19 Patient is no longer required to be isolated, and where they: 1.

  • COVID-19 Focused Infection Control Survey: Acute and Continuing Care
    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 7500 Security Boulevard, Mail Stop C2-21-16 Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850 Center for Clinical Standards and Quality/Quality, Safety & Oversight Group Ref: QSO-20-20-All UPDATE: 03/10/2021 DATE: March 20, 2020 TO: State Survey Agency Directors FROM: Director Quality, Safety & Oversight Group SUBJECT: Prioritization of Survey Activities Memorandum Summary • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to taking critical steps to ensure America’s health care facilities are prepared to respond to the threat of disease caused by the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). • On Friday, March 13, 2020, the President declared a national emergency, which triggers the Secretary’s ability to authorize waivers or modifications of certain requirements pursuant to section 1135 of the Social Security Act (the Act). Under section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, CMS is prioritizing surveys by authorizing modification of timetables and deadlines for the performance of certain required activities, delaying revisit surveys, and generally exercising enforcement discretion for three weeks. • During this three-week timeframe, only the following types of surveys will be prioritized and conducted: • Complaint/facility-reported incident surveys: State survey agencies (SSAs) will conduct surveys related to complaints and facility-reported incidents (FRIs) that are triaged at the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) level. A streamlined Infection Control review tool will also be utilized during these surveys, regardless of the Immediate Jeopardy allegation. • Targeted Infection Control Surveys: Federal CMS and State surveyors will conduct targeted Infection Control surveys of providers identified through collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
